Question

We are using a great deal of enery at all times...what steps or preventative measures can we take to ensure that the energy we have left in the world is retained for as long as possible?

Answer 1

Clearly you are confusing energy and resources.

To sustain energy production against resource consumption we need"

Improved Effenciency of current technology

New Technology: Fussion

and more emphasis on renewable resource energy production like wind, solar, and hydro.

Answer 2

I believe there are a lot of little things that individuals, families, and businesses across the globe can do to conserve energy and resources.  On a small scale, it might not seem like a huge step, but when multiplied by millions, it can make a big difference.  For example, instead of hanging Christmas lights at your house, hang up wreaths, bows, and other non-electric decorations.  Instead of driving to work if you don't commute, take public transportation or use a bike.  Don't do your laundry when you only have a few things to wash, wait until you have a full load...and the same with your dishwasher.  If every household or business made one or two changes that became habit, on a world-wide scale, it could make an impact on conservation.

Answer 6

There is a misconception about this subject. This country sits on alot of oil and gas and doesn't take it out of the ground. I'm sure big money has to do with that. They all talk about gas consumption, home heating oil and diesel. What they don't say is they are a drop in the bucket compared to the oil thatis used to make plastics or anything else that is made from oil. The oil companies make big money all the way around. No matter what type of fuel they might come up with to use, rest assured the big oil companies will own that business most likely under different names. The big money machine in this country will never let their money go. Do you know you get less gas mileage using ehtanol than gas? It is supposed to be cheaper to offset that but not in this country. It is also worse for the enviroment than gas. When you spill gas it dries up quickly thus it doesn't spread into the as much as ethanol. Ethanol doesn't dry up like gas thus it preads farther and deeper. The media and who ever else likes to get the average person riled up over issues so they can make more money. Truth is there is plenty of energy, it is not going to run out.

Answer 7

You are using great deal of energy. Are you paying extra money? Are you worried because energy will not be left much in future? So you want to cut excessive energy usage.

Can you contact industries to make them appliances consuming less energy? Can you list down excessive usages? Can you make vehicles running on gravitational energy? Can you say wehicles are  consuming excessive energy? Will you will be ready to loose comfort to save on energy?
